Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

Is Nike Platform Engine the future of platform engineering at Nike?

Will that team really gonna save millions of dollars by asking most of the techops to migrate their infrastructure to NPE? I have used their product during recent workshop. It works but not sure if it is reliable to use it in terms of performance, scalability and disaster recovery.

Overengineered piece of cr-p. Any CTO with decent technical chops would be able to figure that out.

The scalability isn’t there. Sure it will work for some teams but at large it’s a pipe dream. Good luck to their leadership, they’ll need it

Whole thing is insanely over engineered by a group of bored engineers looking to inflate their resumes. Totally disconnected from the needs real product engineering teams need.

The pitch is, it saves money because it means less time doing devops. Still, it's not stable and it changes too fast too much to make it ready for production adoption.

It’s in the works for past 3 years. Ask them about current users and how they have evolved the capabilities in past 3 years. It’s a great story that is sold to leadership without any material delivery in last 3 years after already spending millions of $. There are multiple PE and DE working on it for many years. How do I know, I been there before moving to another team.

I don’t see how it would save money ! But .. people are stupid and nobody wants to do anything anymore.

Look to see who’s using it today …. The answer is no one. I would wait for someone else to cut their teeth on it to see if they actually have it operationalized. Ultimately this will NOT save us money, but apparently leadership is sold all the way up to the CTO so we will have to play ball.
